I have made "some tweaks" to the LDAP loader code and sent them to you
privately.

In short the (simple) changes allow the
grouperLoaderLdapGroupAttribute value to be multiple attribute names
separated by a ",".

I have tested the new code using the 2.1.4 code base and GSH commands
to construct the loader job. The liteUI was able to read the loader
job and display the attribute value so it appears on face value that
the liteUI is happy (I assume it is just treating the value as an
opaque string that gets passed to the loader job code).

Please consider committing the code tweaks (after any edits you see
fit to make of course) and making them part of a released version of
Grouper.

Thanks,

Scott
